A POWERFUL tank with a FLAME THROWER - TO-55 in War Thunder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2023
- The TO-55 in War Thunder is a Premium Medium Tank that has a FLAME THROWER! That's right, a high tier Flame Tank that actually has some trouble getting frags with it!
The TO-55 is at 8.0 which is the lowest BR T-55 in the game. As such this vehicle does not get access to the APFSDS round. That's not a problem, though. The best shell is the APHE and we all know it! :)
The 100mm is stabilized and is more than enough to deal with most opponents that are thrown at you. The TO-55 party piece is of course the flame thrower. It works on open top SPAA like the M42 and ZSU-57-2 but fails to roast things like the M113 TOW, the M163 and other things like the UDES 33. Disappointing but hopefully this is fixed to give it some viability.
What it is REALLY good at doing is blinding enemies with thick black smoke and fire! It's also just really cool to watch.
:)

Day 2 of asking for a proper how to use the tiger tanks 1s and 2s
They're best as snipers, like most german vehicles around that br really@@Alduins_Flame
@@Alduins_Flame You angle your tank. He’s done quite a few on those and nothing has changed in the game so they’re still relevant. Search “OddBawZ Tiger”
@OddBawZ BTW, there's been a scammer in the comments. I've even got some replies by the person doing it & have reported them.
@limey_ yeah but moat idiots that play the tigers don't know how to use them and it's infuriating when your whole team are tigers but get whacked
Wish they would expand fire damage to enclosed light armor too so napalm and such has a point other than looking pretty.
They should make a feature where the crew could be cooked alive after being in the fire for to long
they shouls make it able to damage radiators and engine parts if hitting the vents and grills.
Or even engine damage. Engines need oxygen to keep running, and if the tank is being doused by a flamethrower, it's reasonable to assume it's not going to be sucking up any nice oxygen, it's going to be sucking up flame and CO2, so the engine is gonna die. Why not allow flamethrowers to damage engines? I could see a niche use for flamethrowers if they could actually damage engines. Flamethrowers don't need to be "meta" or whatever, they're gimmicks, but they should at least serve SOME purpose when you're not shooting at the designated "can be killed by flamethrowers" vehicles
Enlisted and War Thunder teams must not be on speaking terms or something. Flame affecting tanks was one of the first things they added, after everyone yelled at them about molotovs and flamethrowers not doing much. Hit the front of the tank, their visibility is gone, flame the engine compartment long enough, the engine is going to die/the tank will go on fire. Open tops get melted, same with tank commanders sticking out the top hatch
@@clauarmod7462 basically like how drowning is. Slowly dying
The trees don't look like they're being blown by wind, they look like they're thrashing about in agony.
so true
Wind's howling
Best description of the new Witcher 3 trees that I have seen yet.
They be really weird lookin for me, idk what gajin is up to
Is there any way to make them not move
The flamethrower is like a close-range smoke thrower, and you can annoy your teammates( best part of the tank)
I like the apfsds on the T-55A, but i don't see this as a T-55A with a missing adfsds. Given there are T-54s as that same br, i'd rather look at it as a T-54 with a stabilizer and no br penalty, and that's insane
They need to add optics damage for flames. Depending on how damaged they are, your accuracy goes down. This would make flamethrowers actually have a place in game.
I’ve always been a sucker for weather effects. The high tier snow maps and using thermals is so much fun. But Gaijin truly needs some help in the lighting department.
That's one spicy T-55!
I flinched too 14:08
8.0 games are actually pretty fun these days. Love the sheer variety of tanks
The closest I'll come to seeing Oddbawz play a T-55 tank. I'll take it!
T-10M next?
Yes please
Trees blowing around like its a storm, meanwhile exhaust smoke and fire smoke just goes straight upwards.
Flamethrower is so situational they could stand to buff it a bit, make it damage engines and/or obscure vision. In Sim it could damage crew if the compartment had been breached by a round
Would love to set gaijin expand upon fire, maybe if a fire it hot enough it could soften the steel and give it less thickness value for a few seconds, or perhaps it could affect tracks and make it harder to move, or stuff like napalm bbs could burn curtain terrain making you go slower on it
I got over 80 kills with that in my first day of owning it. It’s stupid good
overall or in 1 game?
@@cheese-ov5okwhat would be your guess?
@@cheese-ov5ok overall…
Yeah it's basically a T-54 with stabilizer at the same BR. Thanks for another powercreep, gaijin...
@@Szymonides252 It’s a T-55A with a flamethrower. The model is in the name TO-55
What would be cool is if you could harness the power of fire in a long tube to shoot sharp pieces of metal at your enemies
I don’t know why, but T-54/55 tanks and their derivatives are some of my favorites to both watch and play. Something about them is super satisfying.
Yes I agree
There classic communist tanks lol
I wish they'd make it so that flames on the engine and radiator intakes would begin to damage the engine and radiator over time. Not only would it make the flame tanks more useful but the incendiary bombs too.
A couple of these little guys set up right can evaporate stacks of infantry in Wargame
Just what Russia needed another premium t-50 series tank. Israel doesnt need a spaa same as all other nations.
Also only need spaa because other countries have them at that br
they added very needed spaa for italy and israel should be a subtree
@@zalamysup6831Italy needs a top tier Missile SPAA, not a Shilka. And we can't call the ZSU-57-2 an SPAA, it is just so much better as a tank destroyer
@@dontcallmeroly2031 yeah i agree but they at least did something for italy
@@zalamysup6831 hungarian vehicles are an absolute godsend
I love going against this thing in the bulldog.
OT-55 look im overpowered and im the only stabilized Russian MBT at 8.0
Type 69, ZTZ59A: are you sure about that?
the beast of war
The foggy desert is what get me every time
I still want the Sherman Crocodile. Three were made, all three used in combat.
Weren't they used on a beach when the allies invaded
Along with other weird tanks made by the British that the Americans thought wouldn't work but ended up being very good like the bridge tank ecetra
@@ToXicKush420 They were used during operation Grenade. Germans holed up in an old castle with a moat. They simply used the flame thrower on the castle :)
I was waiting for Odd to shoot out that windmill. Saying "Well, that was just buggin' me."
They really need to make it so napalm overheats the engines since they made the radiators do the same
Love the vidss!
4:25 thats a very strange situation here. Im used to the teammates all to be at A and almost noone at B or C, what always really annoys me. Here its the other way around, what i really like to see in my battles on Abandoned Factory. I hope its not just cause of Battle Mode....
2:30
I also live in a country with bad weather :D Hot spring summer, cold fall and winter
As a US main playing the M60, im punching the air right now because this thing is stabilised and im not but our guns are so similar and my mobility is worse but were both 8.0, but one can only imagine me happy, doing my best and having fun
Good Point with the funny colored Sticker. Then again, still better then turning the Tonk into Bush Creature XD
10:37 you can select APDS with 2 and it will load those shells first. Thumbs up this comment so he sees.
14:56 says you not switching to HE as soon as you knew what it was, wasted 3 APDS on him.
25:00 Yes Leopard 1 and Turm 3 have the same engine, Turm 3 is a test bed based on a modified Leopard 1 chassis after all.
Awesome video like always great content and excellent game playing
Keep it up and have fun
God bless
funny thing is those windy ass trees are still there even when the weather isn't bad. Also they should let the flamethrower do damage to enclosed light tanks and they can make it like when you drown
I love how they made every t 54 8.0 just to add a premium fully stabilised t55
Losat could hop missiles over that low ridge and cover A from the north, second map. If it were the 3 cap map.
Pretty sure I watched Bo Time burn a M163 with the Falme thrower on this tank and killed it with just the flame maybe I over looked something but it sure looked like he burnt it to its death.
Hello brother thanks for a great video ❤
I love bad weather. I'm only happy when it rains.
First match I played I got 11 kills and even got one with the flamethrower. So far the only problems I have with it are turret traverse and the shell velocity of the AP round
Would love to know what makes this 8.0 while the T-69IIa is 8.3
Wind's Howlin'...
So when he flanks the enemy team just wait to get killed but when I flank they see me in 1 second
This is a Flammenwerfer,It werfs flammen
its amazing how this is fully stabilized at 8.0 where its the same BR as M60's and other non-stabilized vehicles, whos stabilized variants begin at 8.3; they dont even try to hide the bias anymore.
You probably could burn the trees down, but knowing gaijin the trees would be immune to burning because they have snow on them.
1:00 theres actually a boat with a flamethrower that not alot of people know about for some reason
"For some reason" = Literally a fraction of 1% of people play naval, pretty simple reason
isnt it called the zippo, and yeah theres like .5% that plays naval
Zippo is busted in naval. Its super slow but the 40mm and 20mm slaughter boats.
Now it actually looks like Finland :D
"Premium T-55 with a stabilizer".
"yep... cool...".
26:04 It did explode in the tank, but the ball turret blocked the shrapnel from reaching the crew.
is just me or would flamethrower plane kill would be noice 😂
Can you please play churchill mk7, or croc? Or chieftain mk3? As it has had a sabo nerf and gone up in br!
New challenge, flamethrower an aircraft out of the sky. Good luck. Lol.
Enemy cap is base, like in grade school. Base means you can't be tagged. Except for one bomb run.
I know its not typically your cup of tea but could you play the M103 for old times sake? Not sure if you ever played it on the channel.
3:59 I wonder if you would have shot a little flame if that guy would have hesitated
brun babt burn
Odd when are you gonna revisit Katyusha?
Waiting for to Bawz to flame a plane next.
I LOVE this thing in WG:RD
Odd can u please make a vid on the T55AM1!
Could you please play the Moderna? I think it is a wonderful tank.
I feel like fire to engine vents should cause engine damage
Why did you use the BR-412B round in the T-34-100, if the BR-412D is also as great, but with more pen?
Didnt he say better angle pen?
Play the SU-152!!!
Odd please play anti-cas with the Seahawk mk.100, it shreds helis and can ir missile planes if they try to escape.
When this is 8.0 and the ztz59 Chinese premium is also 8.0 (although be it only one plane stabilization) then why are the t54s 49/51 also 8.0
I know you are really good but how do you get away without getting bombed?! half the time the first guy I kill comes back to bomb me.. or the next guy..
Odd, you should play the 103-C.
On a map like Maginot Line and (other open hilly one that's slipping me at the moment), that tank is lethal on its own.
4 second autoloader.
Laser rangefinder.
And abysmal slope at distances greater than 2km, you're virtually invincible.
"Hard to aim."
Nah... skill issue. 😎
How do people deal with the grind in this game been playing for years now and still not at top tier in planes or tanks i do play more then one country it just get a pain grinding on a tank i don't like just to hit the next tier
Would be nice if fire affected air intakes and choked engines, or at least slowed them down.
How can you tell what br it is?
Besides the amount of spawn points
We need a free tank with flamethrower
Wasn't the Croc the free rewaard
I didn't know you could remove the grass entirely. I thought it was just the gun and commander sight.
There is a slider somewhere in the settings for grass render distance.. could be called ground clutter or something similar..
It's just specific maps are glitched.
could you do the soviet Su-6 (M-71F)
Jpz 4-5. You really should play it cause its quite the TD.
Watch TBLF aka Bo Time Gaming with this tank, Bo killed a M163 with the flame thrower
So literally just a T-55 without the worthless APFSDS that 3BM25 is all at the same BR as the T-54's? Why would you ever take out a T-54-51 when this thing is a straight upgrade and both are 8.0?
Because I'm f2p. The real question is why would you play the Soviet T-54 when you can play the Chinese stabilized ones at the same BR.
Don’t forget that there is a boat with a flam thrower as well
Would be nice if the flames would at least damage engines or radiators (because that finally does something now) like they did in real life. Molotov's were no joke to even closed armoured units. But we know thats asking a bit much from the gimmick for the snail.
Annnnd the chinese tech tree for the ZSU.
Because we need more copy paste.
Like how the Aussie Abrams couldnt go into the British tech tree... Buuuut they get a T90 now?
The stupidest part is...they do that in Enlisted. They added that ages ago after literally everyone yelled at them about it. They also added wind affecting foliage a few months back, but there it looks awesome, not like in this video, where the trees seem to be having a seizure...
Stockgrind up tiers are theft
How is it the same br as the unstablised t54s tho
14:40 what's the point of bringing HE if you're not going to use it?
THIS IS A FLAMMENWERFER!! IT WERFS FLAMMEN!!
Isn't the M4 Crocodile in the game yet?
Vid. 38 of asking you to play the m3 gmc
when that chinese t55 peaked you shouldve flamethrown that at least you wouldve blocked his sights if he wasnt in 3rd person....mind you this is coming from someone that has one tank at a 1 to 1 kd lol and thats the t44-100
first and the video is very good:)
Wait, how you set distance?? I use controller btw
Day 5 (I think) AMX-50 Foch please
War Thunder gamers in the chat, I've been playing for like 2-3 weeks now and started GB tree (I've learned that was a bad call) I've just opened up Challenger/Comet to go for, what's worth? Brit 5.3 seems kinda pain and from what I can see the Comet used to be insane but the APDS shell got ruined when it got taken down from 5.7 and now it's kinda ass? Do I just live in 4.7 for the forseeable future or do I start spading Chally/Comet?
Loving the Avenger and Concept 3 atm, Firefly is fun but slooooow.
British main here, I am at 7.0 in theory but still play 4.7.. it's just the one BR where Britain doesn't 100% suck, try and grind to about 7.3 then you can have fun again (but do try out the other BRs, just don't expect to have fun/do well)
i like the 8.0/10.0 brits the challengers and last chieftain that you can get i believe at 8.7 is really fun, i take it out in my 10.3 matches, strikes works pretty good too, its not great but its not bad, the atgm bug is fixed, warrior is ehh, AA is okay, not great not bad, brit is definetly not top, but its definetly not bottom either, i'd call it a good like 6th, russia, usa, germany, china, sweden, brit@@axolotlIl why china well they get russian vehicles, why sweden well they get better leopards thn german
Playing a mix of different tech trees can be interesting for variety sake.
Also good for "hey this vehicle I keep facing seems super strong..", you can go play it yourself to see if it is good players or just a busted vehicle.
Personally I enjoy playing things like the Brits, because when I get a decent/good result I feel like I really earned it.
As opposed to playing a busted/powerful line up, when I get a good result I just think "yep.. as expected..".
EDIT: Playing something like the Brits, where it is mostly solid shot shells, is good for teaching you where to aim to hit important components/crew.
odd why didn't you load HE on 14:39? on the zsu you could have been done in secs just a question
Because I'm stupid! :)
well we have those moments@@OddBawZ
Bawz I’ve always wondered what your real name is ?
I wonder if you can use the flamethrower to kill a low flying helicopter coming to rocket you or something🤔
It doesn't damage planes or helicopters quickly enough, sadly. It takes around 30 seconds of prolonged flame to destroy a Heli. It's pretty silly.
@@OddBawZ damn so the flamethrower sucks even as anti air lol
The Brits actually tried flamethrowers as AA defence on ships in WW2 haha
Needless to say it didn't work out.@@idkman..69
gg
Can u detonate an ATGM with the flamethrower?
Also; another premium T55...
4:00 why u didnt used fire here?
Well this is just a video about how awesome the T-55 is, regardless of the flamethrower. I know already, because the Type 59 has been my favorite vehicle in the Chinese tech tree so far.
Sadly, this thing has a major drawback. Ammunition, and its placement in the tank. Without the forward ready rack, you lose 20 rounds, and the rest of your ammo gets thrown into every corner of the fighting compartment. Turns you into an explosion waiting to happen.
